What is the data capacity limit? 1 TB, 2 TB, more?

It's not a drive, just an enclosure. As of today looks like maximum 2.5" drive size is 2 TB but the key is making sure the drive isn't more than 12.5mm tall as that's the biggest that will fit in this enclosure. Some 2.5" 2 TB drives are smaller than 12.5mm and some aren't.

The capacity limit is dictated by the SATA standard (SATA II or SATA III) of the drive rather than the enclosure. Therefore as long as your drive conforms to a known SATA standard between I and III it should work just fine.

These DVD+R DL's have 2 layers on one side of the actual media and yes these media has a capacity limit of 8.5G's of storage but you can write anything as long as it is not over 8.5g's... :D :)

Same here: 750GB x 2. They're also not RAID 0, so you don't have one drive with 1.5TB, but rather a 750GB C: drive and a 750GB D: drive.

When formatted the total storage is about 1.71 TB so if both if the total data required for the backups is less then yes. If its not then no.

Yes and No because to HD makers 1 TB= 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. To a computer 1 TB = 1,024,000,000,000 bytes. So it will seem like your losing capacity but it is still 4 TB

I don't know if there is a limit but I have 3 4TB Seagate NAS drives in the Thermaltake 2533.

When formatted properly there was plenty of space. Around 30 I think. But drive died after 2 months.

1 TB. That's a whole lot more than 1 GB. You'll be able to hold a lot of pics and movies with all that space!

1 terabyte is more than adequate for home use. This would allow two full copies of an entirely filled 500 Megabyte hard drive.

I have a 2TB drive in mine. But with prices and for redundancy I would recommend dual 1 TB drives

I am really sure but, you would probably lose 3-4 GB of data because of manufacture formatting, I would suggest go with 2TB.

Yeah, I fell for it, too. I thought I was getting 2x 4TB drives -- and it is TB, btw...not gb (which is 1000x less). I found it's only 2x 2TB drives. I believe you can change the Raid to 0, though...which will stripe data across both of them and you'll get nearly 4TB of storage. The only downside to this is if one fails, you lose the data on both. Make it more fun then...and add a 2nd one to the network and have them back each other up =)

I have had no problems, not close to max storage. I have one for each of my computers, a PC & a laptop.Not sure this helps but it's all I know to say

From what I've read, make sure the firmware on the Drobo is up to date you should be fine with drives > 2TB.

4 gig is advertised, but after OS overhead, etc., there is only 2.8 gig or so available.

2 2TB drives. If you want to maximize storage space, choose a different raid configuration.

I don't know the maximum. I'm just using it for JBOD and not RAID. I needed more SATA ports.
